Graduation Party

Our neighbors Carly and Elise graduated from kindergarten this week, so we threw them a little graduation party. They were so excited!

Moo

We saw some cows on the way home from church, and decided to stop. Reese loved listening to them moo and eat grass, and she especially loved watching the cute babies. She's our little animal lover.

Making Up Songs

Reese has been making up songs lately, usually to the tune of the Wonderpets theme song. Today she was eating colorful candy pieces and sang, "Yellow, Blue, and Green too... And we'll eat you!"

BBQ

We had a fun evening with Heather, Carly, and Ellie. They came over for a BBQ, to play on the swingset, ride in Reese's pink car, and roast marshmallows. It was so fun to watch Reese interact and be so outgoing with her friends. She cried and cried when they left, then fell asleep in about 30 seconds.

Funny While Sick

Reese has been sick this week. Poor girl had a temp that kept spiking at 105! We took her to the doctor where they did a strep test (negative) and blood work (all counts looked good). Luckily her temp came back down in about 24 hours. I think it's her 2-year molars, despite the fact that our doctor doesn't think teeth could cause a fever to go that high. I just think Reese gets really high temperatures, so we have to monitor her closely.

Despite being sick, Reese said some funny things this week...

She was looking at her cousins' blog and said, "Aubrey is a pretty girl. Brayden likes tractors. Peyton likes to play, play, play!"

I asked Reese if she would help me put the dishes away. She responded, "I'm pretty busy right now, Mommy." Then she immediately laughed, obviously knowing she was making up an excuse.

Reese was eating the little pieces from the bottom of the potato chip bag. She said, "Look, surfboards!" because she thought the chips looked like surfboards. How does she know the word surfboard?

Potty Training

Reese showed interest, so we have been potty training this week. She's been pretty successful - especially when we reminder her about every 20 minutes to go sit on the potty. She is so proud of her self when she goes; and she loves earning a sticker for her chart. When she's done she covers her ears (because she thinks it's loud) and tells me to flush it.

Good girl! Keep it up!

Batter Up

Reese is loving her new t-ball set. She had some pretty good hits. At first she held her bat wrong. We tried to show her how to hold it, but our strong willed little girl did not want to listen. Then Daddy said, "Just hold it how it feels comfortable." She immediately switched her hands around to the right way. "She's a natural!" declared Daddy!!

Pool Time

It's so nice outside today, so we pulled out Reese's pool for the first time this year. She had fun splashing around.

Nina's Shower

We had a great time at Nina's shower today. Nina and Shawn (Todd's cousin) are getting married in August.

Reese was excited and up bright and early at 6am to prep for the party. She wanted her toes to look pretty, so she sat perfectly still while I painted them.

The shower was great with lots of people, great food, and laughs. We can't wait for the wedding!

Memorial Weekend

We enjoyed a day at the lake over Memorial weekend. Reese loved hanging out with her Haag cousins! Cuties!
